nothing can beat this high, knowing i get to live in that town for the next four years at least. the town i used to always come home to every summer. there are bigger and better things out there for me that i stopped wishing for years ago. i've never felt this freedom before. i love doing things without permission. going places without consent. rebellion against everything i've ever known and thought. starting over, just like i said before.
the days were long. they were 8 am to usually 9 or 10 at night. there are so many new things, large open spaces, small secret places. it seems like hogwarts except better. one of the student advocates wore nothing but kilts and cowboy hats, except for on poker night where he wore bright red jogger shorts, a blue belly shirt, and knee high socks and lots of sweat bands. he was the dj and played a bunch of good retro. i heard leslie say it was the napoleon dynamite dance that he knew perfectly, but i've never seen it. it was hilarious anyway. he danced for like 2 hours straight. he's such a dork and he loves it. well they gave everyone a bunch of fake money to gamble with. it's not like i know how. we just played bingo, woo. on the way out i got this strange bite on my pinky that hurt and itched really bad. it swelled up really big in less than 30 seconds. that was creepy. who knows what that was. well i only get 3-4 hours of classes a day, but probably much more homework. but that's okay with me. i registered for chemistry, calculus, psychology, art, and astronomy. they have crappy classes this fall but i need it for graduation credits anyway.
went skating with cousins and sometimes some of their friends, cheated on dropping in some more, bought cheetos and ate on the curb next to the gas station with kyle and emily just because we were tired and hungry. dyed and highlighted everyone's hair blue and red minus em and kenneth. so i have blue streaks in my hair now. kyle's turned out the best. next time i'll go the whole nine and a half yards.
it just dawned on me...this is probably the first time i've ever felt human...i felt completely understood...for one day. i was in my glory. so this is how normal people feel every day. the way it feels to speak one's mind without hesitation. i dunnit. with complete strangers. next time on ripley's believe it or not...
